Rebirth at Seventy: Counterattack on Life

At this time of 36 yuan, her daughter can earn a salary of 40 yuan, which is simply too promising.

(Long live 36 yuan, which roughly means the salary income of a worker. Getting 36 yuan a month is already very good.)

"By the way, Mom, I made an appointment with my colleague to go to the county supply and marketing cooperative on Sunday. She has acquaintances there, and some things may be cheaper."

Zhou Jinxin said to Mrs. Yao again.

"Ah, I'll give you two yuan and see if I can buy something you like."

Old Mrs. Yao painfully took out two yuan and gave it to Zhou Jinxin.

Zhou Jinxin silently praised herself for being wise in not giving her mother the bonus as well.

This is definitely only in and out.

"Sister, you are so awesome. Will I be able to go to school next year?"

As a die-hard fan of Zhou Jinxin, Xiao Wu immediately looked at Zhou Jinxin with starry eyes.

"Well, I'll send you to school next year."

Zhou Jinxin nodded in response.

The tuition fee for one semester is 6 yuan, which is money that needs to be spent.

Besides, the second child will be sixteen next year. After graduating from junior high school, if he fails to pass the high school exam, he will have to find a place to work.

"Sister, go to the supply and marketing cooperative on Sunday and buy me a pencil with an eraser. I think all the classmates in our class have it."

When the fourth child saw that Mrs. Yao had given money to Zhou Jinxin, he came up to her and asked for something.

Nowadays, a pencil without eraser costs three cents, while the one with eraser costs five cents. Zhou Jinxin nodded with a smile.

"Okay, if I have it, I'll buy it for you."

"Second child, third child, do you two need anything? Do you have pens and notebooks?"

Zhou Jinxin looked at his two older sisters and asked.

"I don't want it." Lao Zhouzhou Jinling shook her head. If you have the money, it's better to buy more food. Having a full meal is worse than anything else.

"Sister, I want new clothes."

The second child spoke at this time.

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl was at the age where she loves beauty, but her family conditions were not good. The clothes she wore were all worn by Zhou Jinxin, and some of them were patched. She was too embarrassed to wear them to school.

"Whatever you want to buy new clothes, it's okay if you have clothes to wear. Don't always compare yourself with others who are useless."

When Mrs. Yao heard that her fourth son asked for a pencil with an eraser, she couldn't help it. It didn't matter if she carried something with or without an eraser. Just use some.

But she endured it because her boss earned 40 yuan in salary.

Now when I heard that the second child wanted new clothes, I couldn't help it.

The second oldest, Zhou Jinkun, pouted and said nothing.

That's not what the eldest sister said until she asked her. She just wanted new clothes, so she didn't allow her to tell her.

"Don't listen to their nonsense. If it doesn't work, you can buy everything. Do you hear me?"

Mrs. Yao specially warned Zhou Jinxin because she was afraid that she would spend money blindly.

"I got it, Mom.

By the way, what Xiao Wu said just now is true.

Didn't I make meritorious service before and received a commendation? It happened that a secretary in our office was transferred to another unit, so I filled the vacancy in the office. "

Zhou Jinxin said while eating.

"What is real?"

Old Mrs. Yao didn't react at first, but by the time she realized it, her legs that had already been stepped out were retracted, and her eyes almost popped out of her head in surprise.

Is her daughter really becoming a cadre?

No longer have to follow the engineering team's gentlemen to work in all weathers?

Oh my god, this is really the blessing of our ancestors. Both the old Zhou family and the old Yao family have blessed me.

I'll have time to go to a grave some other time.

"Oh, sister, have you really become a cadre? I'm just telling you, I must have heard you right."

When Xiao Wu heard Zhou Jinxin's words, he jumped three feet high and was so happy.

Everyone in the Zhou family is very happy. The children may just be happy that the eldest sister has achieved the rank of a cadre, which sounds very majestic.

But Old Man Zhou and Old Mrs. Yao knew very well.

There is a big gap between the wages of cadres and workers.

Not to mention the basic salary, even the annual benefits and subsidies are much higher than those of ordinary workers.

This is simply good news for the current Zhou family.

"Here, I'll give you another five yuan and go to the supply and marketing cooperative on Sunday to buy some clothes for yourself. We are all cadres, and we can no longer dress in rags that make people laugh."

Mrs. Yao really didn't know how to express her joy. After much hesitation, she gritted her teeth and took out another five yuan from the envelope, and reluctantly handed it to Zhou Jinxin.

"No mom, I have clothes to wear. You can keep this money to buy dad's medicine. If there is any left, save it. Then we will take dad to a big city to see a doctor."

Seeing the pain in Old Mrs. Yao's face, Zhou Jinxin smiled and pushed the money back.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Yao saw that Zhou Jinxin did not accept the money, her expression became relaxed and she nodded with a smile.

"Okay, you're right, let's save some money, and when we save enough money, we can take your dad to see a doctor.

Wait a minute, I'll scramble an egg for you. "

Old Mrs. Yao saved five yuan and wanted to show her approval for her eldest daughter and wanted to give her something good to eat.

"No mom, I'm done eating."

Zhou Jinxin smiled and shook his head. This buntou was really choking, but at this time, everyone was the same, so there was nothing to choose from.

the next day.

Zhou Jinxin came to the office early, filled the kettle with hot water, and tidied his desk. When he was sitting at the desk wondering why today's newspaper had not been delivered, other colleagues in the office also came one after another. .

"Xiao Zhou came early."

"Good morning, Sister Sun." Zhou Jinxin looked at the person coming.

Sun Hongxia walked in slowly, carrying a cloth bag in her hand. Judging from its shape, it should be a lunch box.

Yes, there are canteens in the units now. Employees only need to bring their own lunch boxes and meal tickets to eat in the canteen.

When she was in the engineering team, she had no chance to eat in the canteen when she went out to work. Now that she has been transferred to the cadre team, not to mention eating in the canteen at noon, even the meal tickets are given free of charge by the unit.

The treatment is really different.

"Has the water been filled?"

Sun Hongxia picked up the thermos and found that it was full.

"Yes, Sister Sun, my home is far away and I came out early. When I arrived, I saw that no one had come so I filled the hot water."

Even as Zhou Jinxin sighed, he didn't forget to raise his head and respond.

"Hey, we're all here. Director Song just happened to tell us not to go out. He'll be back from a meeting later and has something to explain."

Zhao Meijuan and Zhang Xiangdong walked into the office and saw everyone talking directly.

When she first arrived, she happened to meet Director Xiao Song who was going to hold a regular meeting. Judging from his appearance, he must have some work to explain.

"Today's newspaper."

When I was bored, the guard delivered today's newspaper.

Zhou Jinxin quickly stood up and took the newspaper first.

"Thank you uncle."

Just what she needs.

"Hey, little comrade is so polite."

The guard did this out of the blue. He had never heard anyone say thank you so politely, and he suddenly felt embarrassed.
